In the flat panel display technology, an Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) display has many excellent characteristics such as being Light and thin, Emitting Light actively, having a fast response speed, a large viewing angle, a wide color gamut, high brightness, low power consumption, and being capable of manufacturing a flexible screen, and has attracted great interest in the scientific research and industrial fields, and has gradually become a new generation of display technology following a Liquid Crystal Display (LCD). With the development and maturity of flexible display technology, a full-screen has become the trend of electronic products, that is, a frameless OLED display becomes one of the currently important development trends.
In the manufacturing process of the frameless or ultra-narrow frame OLED display, a PAD bending (PAD bending) technology becomes one of the keys for determining the yield, and the PAD bending process is to bend a PAD binding region of a Flexible OLED panel by using a bent Flexible substrate and/or a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) and attach the PAD binding region to the back of the panel, so that a Circuit on the back is electrically connected with a Circuit on the front, thereby reducing the width of a frame region of the panel and improving the ratio of an effective display region. Although the frame can be reduced to a certain extent by the scheme, because the frame width of the display panel still needs to reserve an area for Bending (Bending), and the frame reduction range is limited by the Bending radius and the sealing adhesive thickness of the Bending area, the frame cannot be further reduced, if the frame is further reduced, the problem that the product yield cannot be guaranteed due to excessive Bending is caused, and the Bending process is added in the scheme, the manufacturing process is complex, and the improvement of the process efficiency is not facilitated.

The flexible circuit board is arranged at a position completely avoiding one side of the light-emitting surface of the display panel, so that the screen occupation ratio of the display area at the side of the light-emitting surface of the display panel is favorably improved, and the flexible circuit board is prevented from occupying any area at the side of the light-emitting surface of the display panel. Because the flexible circuit board is arranged on the side of the display panel, which is far away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel, compared with the pad part bending technology in the prior art, in the manufacturing process of the display module, the flexible circuit board is electrically connected with the display panel without a bending process, and only the side far away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel is required to be manufactured with the flexible circuit board, so that the flexible circuit board is electrically connected with the display panel to complete the transmission of signals, the manufacturing difficulty is reduced, and the manufacturing efficiency is improved. In addition, the frame position of the display module does not need to reserve a bending area of the flexible circuit board, so that the frame of the display module can be further reduced, and the display effect of an ultra-narrow frame or a display effect close to a full screen can be more effectively realized.

The embodiment explains that the display panel 00 in the display module 000 may include a display area AA and a binding area BA, and in a direction X parallel to the light emitting surface 00E of the display panel 00, the binding area BA is located on one side of the display area AA, and the binding area BA includes a plurality of conductive pads BA1, and optionally, the binding area BA may be located within an area range near an edge position of a non-display area of the display panel 00. The orthographic projection of the composite foam layer 01 on the side away from the light emitting surface 00E of the display panel 00 is not overlapped with the binding area BA, namely, after the whole surface of the composite foam layer 01 is attached to the backlight surface of the display panel 00, the part in the range of the binding area BA needs to be hollowed out, so that the orthographic projection of the composite foam layer 01 on the light emitting surface 00E of the display panel 00 is not overlapped with the binding area BA, the hollowed-out position of the composite foam layer 01 can be used for binding the flexible circuit board 02, and the hollowed-out area of the composite foam layer 01 can be the area where the conductive pad BA1 is located.
This embodiment sets up compound cotton layer 01 of bubble including inclined plane 01A, inclined plane 01A and compound cotton layer 01 of bubble are the acute angle towards the contained angle alpha that surface 01B formed of display panel 00 one side, setting up through inclined plane 01A can make flexible circuit board 02 have a slope when binding, can make the better bending type of flexible circuit board 02 be fixed in on the inclined plane 01A of compound cotton layer 01 of bubble, when the side of the fretwork position of avoiding compound cotton layer 01 of bubble is the vertical plane, buckle too much when flexible circuit board 02 binds and arouse the fracture. The specific binding structure of the flexible circuit board 02 is that the flexible circuit board 02 includes a first area 02A, a second area 02B and a third area 02C, it can be understood that the first area 02A, the second area 02B and the third area 02C are only names of different areas of the flexible circuit board 02, the plurality of first pins 021 are located in the first area 02A, the first pins 021 are attached to and electrically connected with the conductive pads BA1 of the binding area BA, that is, the conductive pads BA1 of the binding area BA of the display panel 00 are exposed at the hollow positions of the composite foam layer 01, and the flexible circuit board 02 of the first area 02A is attached to and electrically connected with the conductive pads BA1 at the hollow positions in a one-to-one correspondence manner through the first pins 021. The flexible circuit board 02 of the second area 02B is fixed with the inclined plane 01A in an attaching mode, namely the flexible circuit board 02 of the second area 02B can be bent along the inclined plane 01A of the composite foam layer 01 in an inclined mode, an included angle alpha formed by the inclined plane 01A and the surface 01B, facing the display panel 00, of the composite foam layer 01 is an acute angle, the bent angle between the flexible circuit board 02 of the first area 02A and the flexible circuit board 02 of the second area 02B can be an obtuse angle, and the breakage of lines in the flexible circuit board 02 caused by excessive bending is avoided. Then the flexible circuit board 02 of third district 02C continues to deviate from one side surface 01C laminating of display panel 00 with compound bubble cotton layer 01 fixed to make flexible circuit board 02 and display panel 00 have the region of binding the connection, and flexible circuit board 02 also has the region of laminating fixed with compound bubble cotton layer 01, and then can effectively promote the binding fastness of flexible circuit board 02 on the side of deviating from display panel 00 play plain noodles 00E. Moreover, the flexible circuit board 02 does not need to be bent to the back of the display panel 00, so that the manufacturing process difficulty is reduced, the manufacturing process efficiency is improved, and the flexible circuit board 02 does not need to occupy the space on the light emergent surface 00E side of the display panel 00, so that the frame of the display module 000 can be further reduced, and the display effect of an ultra-narrow frame or a display effect close to a full-screen can be more effectively achieved.
Optionally, in this embodiment, an included angle formed by the inclined surface 01A of the composite foam layer 01 and the surface 01B of the composite foam layer 01 facing the display panel 00 is α, and α is greater than or equal to 40 ° and less than or equal to 50 °.
The embodiment explains that the angular range of the acute angle α formed by the inclined plane 01A of the composite foam layer 01 and the surface 01B of the composite foam layer 01 facing the display panel 00 can be between 40 ° and 50 °, and further optionally, the acute angle α formed by the inclined plane 01A of the composite foam layer 01 and the surface 01B of the composite foam layer 01 facing the display panel 00 is 45 °, so that when the angle of the angle α is too small, the distance of the inclined plane 01A in the direction X parallel to the light emitting surface 00E of the display panel 00 is too long, and further the obliquely cut part of the composite foam layer 01 is too much, which affects the protection effect of the composite foam layer 01 on the display panel 00, and when the angle of the angle α is too large, the flexible circuit board 02 is attached to the inclined plane 01A, which easily causes the flexible circuit board 02 to be excessively bent, so that the binding effect of the flexible circuit board 02 can be ensured, the risk of wire breakage caused by excessive bending is avoided.
In some alternative embodiments, please refer to fig. 1, 9 and 10 in combination, fig. 10 is an enlarged schematic view of a partial structure in a P region of fig. 9, in this embodiment, a plurality of conductive pads BA1 are located on a side of the substrate 10 facing away from the driving circuit layer 20, the driving circuit layer 20 of the bonding area BA includes a plurality of third vias 20K, and the signal line 201 is electrically connected to the conductive pad BA1 through the third vias 20K.
In the display module 000, since the flexible circuit board 02 is disposed on the side of the composite foam layer 01 away from the display panel 00, there is no need to dispose the conductive pad BA1 on the side of the light exit surface 00E of the display panel 00, and the plurality of conductive pads BA1 are disposed on the side of the substrate 10 away from the driving circuit layer 20, so as to reduce the distance between the conductive pad BA1 and the flexible circuit board 02 in the direction perpendicular to the light exit surface 00E of the display panel 00, the driving circuit layer 20 of the bonding area BA may be disposed with a plurality of third via holes 20K, the third via holes 20K may penetrate through the driving circuit layer 20 including a plurality of film layers, and the substrate 10 may also be disposed with the second via holes 10K penetrating through the substrate 10, so that the signal lines 201 (such as data lines, scanning lines, touch signal lines, etc.) of the driving circuit layer 20 may be electrically connected to the conductive pads BA1 on the side of the substrate 10 away from the display panel 00 through the third via holes 20K and the second via holes 10K. The plurality of conductive pads BA1 of this embodiment are located the one side that the substrate 10 deviates from the drive circuit layer 20, can reduce the degree of difficulty of binding of flexible circuit board 02, because the one side that the substrate 10 deviates from the display panel 00 directly exposes conductive pad BA1, consequently when flexible circuit board 01 binds to the backlight surface of display panel 00, can directly attach and make the conductive pad BA1 of binding district BA and the first pin 021 direct contact laminating electricity on the flexible circuit board 02 connect, be favorable to improving processing procedure efficiency.
It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the process of electrically connecting the conductive pad BA1 located on the side away from the light emitting surface 00E of the display panel 00 and the signal line 201 of the driving circuit layer 20 in the display panel 00 may be implemented by forming the third via hole 20K in the driving circuit layer 20, in particular, in order to avoid that a plurality of film layers through which the third via hole 20K penetrates are too deep, the second metal portion J2 may be synchronously formed in the process of manufacturing the display structure of each film layer, as shown in fig. 10, so that the third via hole 20K is formed by a plurality of sub-holes, or the electrical connection between the conductive pad BA1 and the signal line 201 may also be implemented by other process technologies, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment, and in particular, it only needs to satisfy that the electrical connection performance between the conductive pad BA1 and the signal line 201 is stable, and this embodiment is not specifically limited in this embodiment.
In some alternative embodiments, please refer to fig. 1, fig. 9 and fig. 11 in combination, fig. 11 is an enlarged schematic view of another partial structure of a region P in fig. 9, in this embodiment, a waterproof adhesive layer 60 is coated on an inclined surface 01A of the composite foam layer 01, and the flexible circuit board 02 of the second region 02B is fixed to the inclined surface 01A through the waterproof adhesive layer 60.
This embodiment explains when the flexible circuit board 02 is fixed with the inclined plane 01A of the compound foam layer 01, because the inclined plane 01A has a certain slope, so can coat the waterproof glue layer 60 on the inclined plane 01A of the compound foam layer 01, the waterproof glue layer 60 can be UV waterproof glue, not only can strengthen the protection effect to the display module 000, for example waterproof and corrosion resistance, can also avoid the glue that the mobility is good to flow on the inclined plane 01A of the compound foam layer 01 and cause local starvation when coating, and then influence the fixed effect of the flexible circuit board 02 of the second area 02B and the inclined plane 01A. Therefore this embodiment sets up the flexible circuit board 02 of second district 02B and fixes through waterproof glue layer 60 and inclined plane 01A, not only can utilize waterproof glue layer 60's viscidity to make the flexible circuit board 02 of second district 02B fixed with the inclined plane 01A of compound bubble cotton layer 01, can also keep waterproof glue layer 60's wholeness on inclined plane 01A, avoid glue to flow and lead to local scarce glue to influence fixed effect, and then be favorable to further promoting flexible circuit board 02 and compound bubble cotton layer 01's steadiness.
It can be understood that, in this embodiment, the flexible circuit board 02 in the third area 02C may also be fixedly attached to the surface 01C of the composite foam layer 01 away from the side of the display panel 00 through the waterproof adhesive layer, and the waterproof adhesive layer 60 in this embodiment may also be replaced by other waterproof adhesive materials with poor flowability, which is not described herein again.
In some alternative embodiments, please refer to fig. 1, fig. 9 and fig. 12 and fig. 13 in combination, fig. 12 is an enlarged schematic view of a partial structure of a region P in fig. 9, fig. 13 is a schematic view of a flexible circuit board in fig. 12, in this embodiment, the flexible circuit board 02 includes a first substrate 020 and a plurality of metal conductive layers 0201 located on the first substrate 020;
the flexible circuit board 02 at least comprises a first sub-portion 02D and a second sub-portion 02E, wherein the first sub-portion 02D is positioned at the joint position of the second area 02B and the first area 02A; and/or, the first sub-section 02D is located where the second region 02B meets the third region 02C;
the first sub-portion 02D includes a number of metal conductive layers 0201, the second sub-portion 02E includes a number of metal conductive layers 0201, a < B, and a and B are positive integers.
This embodiment explains a structure in which the flexible circuit board 02 generally includes a plurality of film layers stacked, wherein the first substrate 020 is used as a substrate for carrying the rest of the film layers of the flexible circuit board 02, the flexible circuit board 02 further includes at least a plurality of metal conductive layers 0201 located on the first substrate 020, and the plurality of metal conductive layers 0201 are used for making internal traces in the flexible circuit board 02, so that the pins of the flexible circuit board 02 have an electrical connection relationship with each other. Optionally, the plurality of metal conductive layers 0201 may also be provided with an insulating cover layer, the flexible circuit board 02 may further have an insulating glue layer used as a protective layer, and further optionally, the insulating glue layer and the first substrate 020 may be made of the same material, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment, and it is only required that the flexible circuit board 02 at least includes the first substrate 020 and the plurality of metal conductive layers 0201 located on the first substrate 020. Because the flexible circuit board 02 itself has a certain flexibility, and the overall thickness of the flexible circuit board 02 is relatively thin, the wire routing made in each metal conductive layer 0201 is also relatively thin, and the flexible circuit board 02 of this embodiment needs to be bent at a certain angle when being fixed on the composite foam layer 01 in a binding manner. Therefore, as shown in fig. 12 and fig. 13, in order to avoid a risk of wire breakage of the metal conductive layer 0201 when the flexible circuit board 02 is bent, in this embodiment, the flexible circuit board 02 at least includes a first sub-portion 02D and a second sub-portion 02E, where the first sub-portion 02D is located at a position where the second area 02B is connected to the first area 02A, or the first sub-portion 02D is located at a position where the second area 02B is connected to the third area 02C, or the first sub-portion 02D is located at a position where the second area 02B is connected to the first area 02A, or is located at a position where the second area 02B is connected to the third area 02C, that is, the first sub-portion 02D is a partial area of the flexible circuit board 02 that needs to be bent after being bound and fixed, and the remaining planar areas that do not need to be bent are all the second sub-portion 02E of the flexible circuit board 02. In this embodiment, the number a of the metal conductive layers 0201 included in the first sub-portion 02D is smaller than the number B of the metal conductive layers 0201 included in the second sub-portion 02E, for example, when the number of the metal conductive layers 0201 included in the first sub-portion 02D is three, the number of the metal conductive layers 0201 included in the second sub-portion 02E is two or one, so that by reducing the number of the metal conductive layers 0201 in the bending region of the flexible circuit board 02 after the flexible circuit board 02 is bound and fixed, not only can the thickness of the first sub-portion 02D of the flexible circuit board 02 be reduced, but also the problem that the bending is difficult to bend due to the thick thickness and the excessive hardness of the bending position can be avoided, the bending performance of the first sub-portion 02D of the flexible circuit board 02 can be improved, and the risk of internal routing breakage when the flexible circuit board 02 is bent can be reduced.
Optionally, the partial region of the flexible circuit board 02 that needs to be bent after being bound and fixed is the region where the first sub-portion 02D is located, and the first sub-portion 02D may only include one metal conductive layer 0201, so that the bent region of the flexible circuit board 02 may only use a single layer for routing, and the position of the flexible circuit board 02 that needs to be bent only includes a single metal conductive layer 0201 by setting, so that the thickness of the first sub-portion 02D of the flexible circuit board 02 may be further reduced, and the bending performance is further improved while the difficulty in attaching the flexible circuit board 02 is reduced.
It is understood that, when the first sub-portion 02D includes only one metal conductive layer 0201, the remaining second sub-portion 02E may be electrically connected to the single metal conductive layer 0201 in the first sub-portion 02D through a via exchange line at a position close to the first sub-portion 02D.
In some alternative embodiments, with continuing reference to fig. 1, 9, 12 and 13, the material of the first substrate 020 in at least the first sub-portion 02D of the flexible circuit board 02 includes a transparent flexible material.
The embodiment explains that the flexible circuit board 02 can adopt a sectional type structural design, specifically, the manufacturing material of the first substrate 020 corresponding to at least the first sub-portion 02D of the flexible circuit board 02 comprises a transparent flexible material, optionally, the other parts of the flexible circuit board 02 are made of other flexible materials like the manufacturing material of the first substrate 020 corresponding to the second sub-portion 02E, or the manufacturing material of the whole first substrate 020 of the flexible circuit board 02 is made of a transparent flexible material, such as flexible transparent materials like Polyimide (PI) and Polycarbonate (PC), so that the first sub-portion 02D can be bent more easily, and whether damage such as breakage exists in a circuit inside the flexible circuit board 02 after bending can be observed more clearly and intuitively, and the product yield can be further improved.
It can be understood that the flexible circuit board 02 in this embodiment may further include an insulating adhesive layer (not shown in the figure) on a side of the metal conductive layer 0201 away from the first substrate 020, the insulating adhesive layer may play a role of protecting the entire flexible circuit board 02, and optionally, the insulating adhesive layer and the first substrate 020 may be made of the same material, and may be both made of a flexible transparent material. Consequently when the preparation material of first basement 020 and insulating glue layer is flexible transparent material, flexible circuit board 02 binds to the cotton layer 01 of compound bubble on, both can set up first basement 020 and the cotton layer 01 laminating of compound bubble fixed, also can set up insulating glue layer and the cotton layer 01 laminating of compound bubble fixed, make things convenient for flexible circuit board 02 to bind and the equal can audio-visually observe whether the inside circuit of flexible circuit board 02 has damage such as fracture after buckling.

The present embodiment explains that the flexible Circuit board 02 of the display module 000 may be bound with a driving Chip 70(Integrated Circuit, IC), and the driving Chip 70 may be electrically connected to the flexible Circuit board 02 by binding to realize signal transmission therebetween, that is, the display module 000 of the present embodiment may adopt a Chip On Film (COF) technology to bind the driving Chip 70. In this embodiment, the flexible circuit board 02 is disposed on a side of the display panel 00 away from the light exit surface 00E of the display panel 00 itself, the driving chip 70 is bound and disposed on a side of the flexible circuit board 02 away from the display panel 00, optionally, the driving chip 70 may be bound and electrically connected with the flexible circuit board 02 of the third area 02C, so as to transmit signals between the driving chip 70 and the flexible circuit board 02, and transmit driving signals provided by the driving chip 70 to the display panel 00 through the flexible circuit board 02, thereby implementing a normal display function of the display panel 00.
In some alternative embodiments, please refer to fig. 16, where fig. 16 is a schematic plane structure diagram of a display device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the display device 111 according to this embodiment includes the display module 000 according to the above embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment in fig. 16 is only an example of a mobile phone, and the display device 111 is described, it should be understood that the display device 111 provided in the embodiment of the present invention may be other display devices 111 with a display function, such as a computer, a television, and a vehicle-mounted display device, and the present invention is not limited to this. The display device 111 provided in the embodiment of the present invention has the beneficial effects of the display module 000 provided in the embodiment of the present invention, and specific descriptions of the display module 000 in the above embodiments may be specifically referred to, and this embodiment is not described herein again.
According to the embodiment, the display module and the display device provided by the invention at least realize the following beneficial effects:
the display panel included in the display module can be an organic light-emitting diode display panel, the display module at least comprises a composite foam layer located on one side away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel, and the composite foam layer is arranged on one side of the display panel away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel, so that a buffering effect can be achieved, and the display panel can be effectively protected. The display module further comprises a flexible circuit board, and the flexible circuit board is arranged on one side of the display panel, which is far away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel, namely, the surface of one side of the light-emitting surface of the display panel is not provided with a structure of the flexible circuit board. The flexible circuit board comprises a plurality of first pins, the first pins are electrically connected with signal lines of a driving circuit layer of the display panel, so that signal transmission between the flexible circuit board located on one side of the light emitting surface of the display panel and the display panel is achieved, driving signals are provided for the display panel through the flexible circuit board, and normal display of the display module is achieved. The flexible circuit board is arranged at a position completely avoiding one side of the light-emitting surface of the display panel, so that the screen occupation ratio of the display area at the side of the light-emitting surface of the display panel is favorably improved, and the flexible circuit board is prevented from occupying any area at the side of the light-emitting surface of the display panel. Because the flexible circuit board is arranged on the side of the display panel, which is far away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel, compared with the pad part bending technology in the prior art, in the manufacturing process of the display module, the flexible circuit board is electrically connected with the display panel without a bending process, and only the side of the flexible circuit board, which is far away from the light-emitting surface of the display panel, is required to be manufactured, so that the flexible circuit board is electrically connected with the display panel to finish the transmission of signals, the manufacturing difficulty is favorably reduced, and the manufacturing efficiency is improved. And because the frame position of the display module in the invention does not need to reserve the bending region of the flexible circuit board, the frame of the display module can be further reduced, and the display effect of the ultra-narrow frame or the display effect close to the full-face screen can be more effectively realized.
